Kathi,

I hate to clean but can’t afford a housekeeper. How can I clean in as little time as possible? It seems to take me at least 10 minutes just to get started and find my cleaning supplies.

Marissa,

Ready to clean but can’t find the scrubber brush?

Keep a separate bucket of cleaning products in each major cleaning area, i.e. a complete set for kitchen & a separate set for each bathroom.

Each bucket should contain sponges, gloves, cleaner sprays & separate specialty items such as toilet bowl cleaner, shower door spray or oven cleaner.

When you are ready to tackle the job, simply pull out your bucket & begin cleaning! Once the job is completed, put it back in the cabinet under the sink and you’ll be ready to go again.
